Re: DIY request thread

I have installed free flow aftermarket exhaust for my Yamaha R15v1. I am feeling like my bike is pulling hard in high revs, but its performance gets depleted in low revs, In stock silencer my bike performs well in both high and low revs. In idel position RPM also moves below 1000. it goes to 1000 while cranking self, but after that it slowly moves to 600 RPM like that.... Any suggestions?

Thank you Guys.

A free flow exhaust will tend to boost the power at high rpm power at the cost of low end.

this is all scientific knowledge, and not practical experience, but installing a narrower exhaust header might allow you to regain some low end torque. Coupled with a free flow muffler after the header should ideally give you the best of both worlds, but there will be a bit of hit and trial involved

The 2 look slightly different, but these are exhaut headers.
Look at the opening on the upper side of each pipe. That is the part that bolts onto the cylinder head.
a narrower section here like the upper pipe should theoretically increase performance at low rpm.
wider section (free flow) would boost top end

at the other end of the pipe (right side) is where the muffler (welded or slip on) would fit

DIY drive chain adjustment for Royal Enfield Thunder Bird 350

Dear Moderators,

Hi am writing and pleading the members to help me and my fellow friends to help us do the DIY of drive chain adjustment of and only Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 - please don't include the drive chain adjustment of other Royal enfield which will not match with Thunderbird .

This thread would be helpful in near future for the owners of RE TB 350 as nowhere - neither in internet / youtube / xbhp / other motorcycle website the procedure has been shown Step by Step for the drive chain adjustment , in manual it is not shown clearly how to move the nut on both the side . So any help will bring lots of love towards this thread and the motorcycle .

Thank you !
Your's fellow bhpian,
Rohan Banerjeree

Installing a Security System in Maestro Edge VX

Can anyone help on how to install a Security System in Maestro Edge VX? My showroom guys don't know about it. They asked me to go to the aftermarket shops, but I don't want to. I want to do it by myself. Please guide me with pics and in detail because I have never done it before. But, you know, everybody has a starting point. So, friends, please guide me on this. And if there be any problem I may face on Warranty, Insurance etc., please let me know about those also. I trust you XBHPians.

Warm regards.

Well I doubt anyone can spoon feed step by step, that too for your particular scooter model.
Don't do this by yourself if you don't have basic knowledge of your vehicle as well as electronics/electricals. In that case, take it aftermarket.

P.S - YouTube is a good friend.

Thanks a lot for the reply. At least one person replied. You are right, no body wants to "spoon feed step by step", but you know, even geniuses had to learn something from someone when they started, and I am not a genius. So I need to learn more. I have many questions but seeing the response, I am thinking that no body will be interested here to answer those. Anyway, I thought XBHP might be the place where I could have some guidance. Well, people do wrong assumptions many times in their life. I am no exception. By the way, I am a photographer in passion (beside car, specially two wheelers) and a computer engineer by profession. When I teach someone about something, sometimes I spoon feed them and explain every step so that they can do it by themselves easily and without anyone's help and also help others. Thanks again for the reply.
